Sometimes, this fluttering inside my mind takes on a champagne gown
And as I see the filigree, the hem I lift, the straps come down
To make the most of life to boast, for there is nothing wrong
In sheer at least, this life to feast, where scarves of silk belong

And there must be a part of me transcending what once was
What some may seek, seems little worth, the peel without the fuzz
An orchard grew beneath my feet, to lend its arms to nest
In simple ways, I pass the days collecting fruits at best

Sometimes to trickle down my chin, in trails along my neck
To smile wide, and feel inside the sweetest juices circumspect
So short to show, the curves below that still seem spry and green
In sheer at least, this life I feast, the most that I have seen

Hello Kathleen

This was nothing short of stunning. The images and words were outstanding and were so much enjoyed by this reader.

Take care......Sue

(sigh) Oh Kathleen, this is lovely, sweet friend, may the orchards all contine to fill your garden and the monarchs always find a reason to drop by and pay a visit in your soul! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
